Author's comments:
On Undead Parasite (House of Sacred Remains boss, first boss) i should have gathered many more hearts and maxed them out. the sweeping Holy Water abusing on this boss would make both forms go by much quicker.

On Stone Golem, my strategy is fairly nice. however, i can't help but feel the Holy Water would have done well here too. at least on the first form. that second form is no joke.

Medusa. again, the holy water. the only problem with using it (i'd mainly use it for extra hits when she screams "Damn You!") is those stones are a pain. you'd have to fire off a Holy Water quickly.

Succubus. honestly, i have no good strategies here. the only good one i'd heard of was using the axe with the orb SHE DROPS (hence not useful here). it damages her and makes her possibly cancel her own attacks.

Doppleganger 1. theres bound to be a subweapon to deal with him. but i needed those hearts for Joachim. i did find a time before that leaping at him and trying a Weak combo would somehow catch him. leaping and letting down the Flame Kick is another nice "stun".

Joachim. the Grand Cross was a great strategy. i see few flaws aside from timing.

Doppleganger 2. Grand Cross is great once more. you can make this continuous for heightened damage. however, the timing sometimes won't agree with you.

Walter. Holy water may have been most helpful. its quick and damages heavily. the Cross didn't work well. Perfect Guarding is a must.

Death. SUBWEAPONS WILL ONLY ANGER HIM! do not use them. Only Pumpkins Subweapons do damage. all others only serve for him to block and counterattack harshly. my best advice is to get 300 kills. this way, you can use the Falcon Claw, basically a jump kick after a double jump. use this over and over to bounce off death at times.

CLOSING:

Sorry for the length. however, i noticed these on a second review and decided to make note for anyone wishing to attempt to better me. im not being arrogant here either. merely trying to push a better outcome. i thought the old Metroid movies were brilliant until kip aced with that barely over an hour run in Prime.

I would also like to add that i did not attempt Crazy because it is very tough for me personally.

I did not attempt AllSkill because it gives the player advantages from the Start (all skills).

Pumpkin is not attempted because its crap. Its a stonger Leon, with better defense and less story. he has some attributes lower (HP most notable) but its still basically an easier version of Leons game considering the massive power upgrade. it took less than an hour to beat.

Any questions, comments, gripes, IM me on AIM at jaegar369. ill try and be on more often. however, if i do not reply to you, do not take it personally. i usually forget i have it at times.
